University of California – Santa Cruz: Sammy The Banana Slug
Hold up, the Banana Slug? Are you kidding? Apparently not. Turns out Sammy has some killer dance moves and a bright personality. In fact back in 1992, Sports Illustrated magazine even named Sammy the Slug the top college mascot and the same happened in 2004 with Readers Digest.

Scottsdale Community College: Artie the Fighting Artichoke
Turns out that back in the 70s, the students found out that their college’s administration used scholarship money intended for Native American students to bride athletes to attend. Needless to say, the students were outraged! So much so that in a school-wide protest, the students then voted to have a ridiculous mascot to forever cast shame to the school for years to come. Enter, the Fighting Artichoke.
